Hockey Hockey Hockey!!

The boys have been at hockey camp all this week. Ben was a little discouraged at first because things didn't come back immediately...but today was a much better day. They are totally exhausted at the end of the day (although today we went to a friend's house to swim for 2 hours so I guess they still have a little bit of energy left!)

We arrive at the rink in the morning at 8:15 and gear up, which takes awhile with two boys! Then they get on the ice for sessions of power skating, hockey instruction and then have off-ice time for conditioning with one of the Kings trainers. They are done for the day by 2:00. They have skated with many Kings players and are getting instruction from real coaches. It is pretty cool!

The boys have hockey camp again tomorrow and then we are going to head straight to the hospital for Vincristine and a blood check. We will post a number update after we get the results back.
